They cite his lack of dominance at either the WR or TE position. While his size and athleticism make him look like a TE, he is panned for his "lack of blocking and physicality." Cheat Sheet also criticizes him for "average hands" and being "an average route runner."

My personal hope is that his injuries in the ND game in 2015, along with the lack of a great QB, and the lack of another great receiver or two (a la Gallon) contributed greatly to his relative lack of production. I'd love to see Funchess shine in the show, and really come into his own.

"Wide receiver or tight end? Funchess' position might be forever debated, but his talent is not. The 6-foot-5 junior is a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses, averaging more than 15 yards per catch in his first two seasons."

WolverineNation uploaded a video of the Pee Wee (NTPW) team that Devin Funchess, Terry Richardson, James Ross and Royce Jenkins-Stone played on. It has Ross, Richardson and Jenkin's Stone talking and joking about their past Pee Wee team.
